. J. GLITCH M A TTORNEY R BY Patented Jan. 5, 1932 UNITED STATES RUFUSJ. BLITOH, OF SCOTIA, CALIFORNIA GOLF BAG CONSTRUCTION Application filedSeptember 5, 1930. Serial No. 479,845.

This invention relates to improvements in golf bag construction.

The principal object of this invention is to produce a bag wherein theclubs maybe in- ,5 dividually positioned in the bag.

A further object is to produce a bag wherein the clubs are suspendedfrom the head.

A further object is to produce a bag of this character which is simplein construction and economical to manufacture.

A further object is to produce a bag wherein the bag may be of lightconstruction if desired. and yet one which will be sturdy.

A still further object is to produce a bag conforming to all standardpractices.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of thefollowing description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and inwhich like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout thesame,

Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevation of my bag showing a clubpositioned therein.

Figure 2 is an enlarged top plan view of my bag, and

Figure 3 is a plan view as the bag would appear in blank form. I

It is a well known fact that golf clubs shafts readily warp if they areallowed to rest upon the handles. Further, by providing separatecompartments for the clubs, the

desired club may be readily selected with a minimum of delay. Further,by having the 5 clubs individually positioned in a bag, their originalfinish is preserved.

In the accompanying drawings wherein for the urpose of illustration isshown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates abag as a whole which may be made of any desired material, the materialbeing shown at 6 in Figure 3. Remforcing members 7 are attached to thebody of the bag and serves to strengthen the bag from bottom to top. Aring 8 is positione upon the bag, which rin is formed of relativelythick material, an of relatively wide material. This ring might betermed a 50 doughnut shaped ring, and has formed upon its upper surfacesV shaped recesses 9. Cross braces 11 and 12 together with a ring 13serve to form compartments, each compartment being adjacent one of therecesses 9,

'with the result that the handles of the clubs may be suspended in thecompartments, 5:; while the head 14 (see Figurel) rest within one of theV recesses.

It will thus be seen that thru this construction, I have produced a golfbag which has all of the objects above set forth.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown anddescribed is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and thatvarious changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement ofparts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of theinvention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In combination with agolf bag of a doughnut shaped ring secured thereto, said ring havingangularly disposed recesses formed therein for the reception of theheads of golf clubs suspended in said bag.

2. In combination with a golf bag of a plurality of cross pieces securedto one end of said bag, a doughnut shaped ring mounted on said crosspieces, said ring having angularly disposed recesses formed therein,said recesses being interspaced between said cross pieces.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature.
